The call was all the Thief needed to hear before she was in movement. It had been a long winter thus far even though it had really just began. She was growing tired of it, specifically the weather and how it appeared that darkness succumbed the world quicker and longer each passing day. At least she had a sun in her life – Rein. He was proving to be a strong willed and adventurous colt. His once leggedness that Rex adored after he was born was slowing beginning to fill out into strength. She watched him, sometimes for a few moments, to simply just admire him. She was losing his childhood slowly but surely as age began to overtake him. It was bittersweet to the golden mare. She loved watching him grow, but saddened by the fact that he even had to grow. His words were more formed and easily pronounced, taking place quickly from his ‘dese’ and ‘dere’s’.

And she knew that she had spent much time away from the Basin as of late, but she couldn’t just stand to be there for a prolonged period of time. Too much was happening, and she was missing out on it. So when the call came from her Lady, she knew instantly that Rein and her needed to move. Her blue gaze cascaded over her child, a soft smile in his direction before reaching to nudge him in their cave. “Come on, love.” She cooed to him, making sure that he’d be able to wake up and follow her. This was one of those mornings where she had woken before the colt, and simply just sat and watched him. But now there were duties to attend to, and she as the Thief, most definitely needed to attend.

She wondered if it were to be similar to the last meeting. If someone would grow angry at who got promoted and who didn’t, but the thought slipped away as she and Rein made their way to Lady Hotaru’s call. Upon her arrival, she noticed that the Basin’s Rose was covered in blood. Her brow furrowed briefly, but she moved to stand near her Lord and Lady as a means of support. Dipping her head to Deimos and Hotaru, she offered them a small smile of hello, before spotting Nox among those who began to unravel from their homes and the ever ending ivory blanket. She smiled and nodded her hello to the demon stag as well, before turning her attention to her Lady as she began to speak.

The name reverberated in her mind, bouncing back and forth and then into a compartment of remembrance. Tingal. That would be an easy enough name to remember. A creature of a feline and an equine, would make sure it stuck even further. However, the Thief nodded. She knew that the Basin would be able to protect itself. She was sure of it. At least – she hoped. And yet, the Rose continued, speaking of Rexanna’s promotion and a smile found her lips to look out upon those just now coming in. And she smiled as well for the promotion of Ki’irha. Then, the Rose continued further. The Hidden Falls was a place that Rexanna had never been to, but she had heard of it. She had the choice between the Basin and the Falls upon her arrival, so the entourage sprung an interest in the Thief. “I would like to accompany you, if you’ll have me?” Her blue gaze looked to her Lady, hoping that whatever differences in the past (regardless of Rein and Ashamin) would be put aside to allow her to serve her home and her Lady to the best that she could.

Then, her head swung to the Reaper as he began to speak. His devilish tongue dancing in the air with more substance than what she had remembered in her last encounters with him. Though she felt her stomach churn slightly at the mention of the Edge and the thought of the Elephant King flashed into her mind before she had a chance to shoo him away. Instead, she listened, hearing that Johnny and his gang would be the lucky creatures to go and visit where the Elephant rests. It somewhat put her at ease, but the Thief still carried the sour taste on her tongue. It didn’t help much when Deimos said that the Sentinels weren’t in use anymore either. That just seemed to make her feel more vulnerable. Besides, how long would it take to actually be able to utilize the wolves? How much time was running out before someone else knew that the Sentinels didn’t work? Better yet, how long had it been before it became public knowledge? She sighed to herself, her gaze straying away from Deimos as he continued.

The black and white Pegasus stuck into her mind. Remembering her disastrous attempt at trying to steal a spark amulet from the bastard when she first came to be in the sneak rank. So she nodded, knowing that the creature would be quite dangerous if given the chance. And as her Lord spoke of Tiamat, she felt all the anger and frustrations bore from the Elephant King and the World’s Edge simmer away. If Rexanna felt like someone deserved a promotion, it was definitely Tiamat.

When Deimos opened the floor, the Thief’s demonized friend spoke up. She wondered what the answer would be, but waited patiently before asking her own questions. Her eyes dancing between the two almost for confirmation before turning her cream face to gaze out upon the creatures that gathered. “I want to say that we don’t have the sneak rank fleshed out as much as we’d all like, so if there’s some of you out here searching for a calling you’re more than welcome to come speak with me about joining.” Her voice chimed to her fellow herdmates, hoping that perhaps someone might be interested. At least even slightly? Then a thought struck her, turning her head to look back to Deimos and Hotaru – she began to wonder where Thranduil had been all this time. Why he wasn’t here if he was still a Lord, or if perhaps something happened?

Her brow furrowed. “Also, where is Thranduil?” She questioned in a more hushed tone, directed at Hotaru and Deimos. Wondering whether or not the golden beast still carried his crown here.

"Talk."
